On the road trip last week I surprisingly encountered a massive solar panel array just outside of Mosca, CO. I quickly took some pictures and shot some cell phone video. In hindsight neither of their portraits the massive scope of the farm very well, so I used the Image Composite Editor from Microsoft Research to see if it could stitch the photos together. The originals were not a panorama at all but ICE did a great job in combining them. It is worth while looking at full size.

The only way you can call this pretty is in a sort of post-apocalyptic way...

I am not going to spoil the fun by saying which one I am....

Ripped this nice poster from Matt Welsh, he teaches CS263 at Harvard this spring.

In early November, on one of my trips to Europe, I had the good fortune of one day ending up at a small exhibition in The Hague. Here I encountered a picture by Anke van den Berg titled “"concrete swimming”" of a dog apparently swimming through a concrete mass. The picture really resonated with me and I decided to buy it. Getting it transported to the US was of course a bit of problem but Anke made a great special box to ship it in. It finally arrived last week and you can see the unboxing in the previous entry.

The photo is printed on aluminum and has the wonderful quality I noticed when I first saw it. It was worth the wait.

I believe that at times in our personal and professional lifes we have all felt like swimming through concrete. I decided to put it on the wall above the desk in my office to remind me of that:
